Home Fragrance Guide: Candles, Room Sprays & Diffusers

Find a home fragrance you love. Compare fresh, floral, fruity and woody scents from ISLA & FRANKIE apothecary, then explore the candles, room sprays and reed diffusers in each fragrance.

How to choose a home fragrance

Start with scents you already enjoy. If you like fresh air and green leaves, explore Marine or Amalfi. For juicy fruit, try Copenhagen or Cassis & Fig. Madrid and Paris offer floral characters, while Arabian Night and Black Fig & Vetiver suit a preference for deeper woods and spice.

Candle, room spray or reed diffuser?

Candles pair fragrance with the glow of a flame. A room spray gives a quick burst of scent when you want to refresh a space. Reed diffusers release fragrance gradually without a flame. Choose your favourite scent first, then the format that fits your routine.

What are top, middle and base notes?

Top notes describe the first impression. Middle notes, also called the heart, give the fragrance its main character. Base notes bring depth and a lasting finish. These are a guide to how a fragrance smells; they are not a list of ingredients.
